Tag Archives: Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series

A lot of people were pretty hyped when Telltale announced that it would be putting its own spin on the Guardians of the Galaxy IP, but reactions to the game’s first episode have been… a little mixed. First impressions aren’t always everything, though, and maybe, just maybe the game’s second episode, Under Pressure will make that pelvic sorcery happen.

Speaking of the second episode, it should be live right now, and a trailer for it has made its way online. Expect some difficult decisions, funny one-liners, and is that a space otter?!

Last month Telltale announced that their take on Guardians of the Galaxy would go live this month, and wouldn’t you know it, it totally did. That’s right, the first episode of the game is finally here, and its launch trailer is pretty great. Check it out below.

I haven’t paid all that much attention to Telltale’s games after the masterpiece that was the first season of The Walking Dead completely blew me away, but I’m betting that’ll change pretty quickly when the developer’s take on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy launches.

We first found out about the game via a leak back in November last year, and Telltale has since released information about its voice actors and cast, as well as a pretty sweet synopsis. Thanks to an update on the developer’s blog, we now also know when we’ll be able to get our hands on the game’s first episode.

Since it was accidentally leaked through a voice actors’ union dispute, and then properly announced at The Game Awards back in December, Telltale Games has been keeping its Guardians of the Galaxy project locked up in a secret space vault somewhere. Now, ahead of a panel discussion at PAX East this weekend, the studio has finally dropped some screenies and info about the series to get that pelvic sorcery going, ooga chaka, ooga-ooga-ooga chaka.

So, it’s basically the same as the movie*? Yes, but also different, because it’s a new “artifact of unspeakable power” and a new “ruthless enemy”. Hey, this is a proper superhero game about superhero stuff. You probably wouldn’t want to play a game about Star-Lord shopping for toilet paper or doing his taxes or petting kittens. Okay, maybe the last one.
